Where did this week go?

This is me today.




I just had some multi-grain cheerios and I go in and out of coughing fits.

The first thing I feel compelled to talk about is my boyfriend Wes. Sometimes I am not sure he realizes how friggin much he means to me. He really is the love of my life and I don't see myself being where I am now and doing any of this without him. He gives me a sense of security and love and happiness that jess makes me worry less about everything. Life is so much better with him. Thats all really . . . . . I just felt like mentioning him. LYB!

Yesterday was rough, I felt pretty okay but could not stop coughing at work. That was annoying, and I think I am in for more of the same today. Best part of the day, and this whole "getting sick" thing- I weighed in a total of 20.6lbs lighter on the WW scale yesterday! I got my fourth 5lb star and lots of applause, I was really stoked!!! I still have a long way to go, but it feels good.

Considering I started over 260, and now I am just over 240 feels really good, but I remember when I was in my last year of high school and I had weighed in at the doctor's office over 230 and I no longer qualified for my health insurance and I had to go on a special high-risk health insurance and my mom freaked out big time. I rmember she threatened to not let me go to college or take away the car if I didn't lose weight . . . but I was a teenager and I wasn't going to do it by myself. I wanted her to cook with me and excersize with me and she was a single working mother and couldn't do it with me, so it never happened. I never really even tried because I had this juvenile idea that if I lost weight it was for her and her insurance or something. But now I just do it for me, and hey if I manage to get to my goal, and keep it off, maybe I will insire someone else and it will all be that much better.
